Pneumatic Unequal Y Connector

An unequal Y connector pneumatic fitting, often referred to as a pneumatic branch Y fitting, is a component used in pneumatic systems to split compressed air or gas flow into two branches of different sizes.

Here’s a breakdown of its features and typical description:

1. Design: The fitting typically has a Y-shaped configuration with three ports or openings, where one port (the main inlet) is larger than the other two (outlets). The larger port accommodates a hose or tubing of a larger diameter, while the smaller ports are designed for smaller hoses or tubes.
2. Material: These fittings are commonly made from materials such as brass, stainless steel, plastic, or other durable materials suitable for pneumatic applications.
3. Connectivity: The fitting often utilizes push-to-connect or threaded connections for easy and secure attachment to pneumatic hoses or tubes.
4. Sizes: Available in various sizes to accommodate different hose or tubing diameters for the inlet and outlet ports.
5. Applications: Used in pneumatic systems across various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, robotics, and more where the need arises to split compressed air or gas into two different lines of varying sizes.
6. Function: It allows for the division of airflow from a single source into two separate directions, which might have different requirements in terms of pressure, flow rate, or intended use.

When purchasing such fittings, you’ll need to specify the size of the ports (inlet and outlets) in terms of diameter, the type of connection (push-to-connect, threaded, etc.), the material, and any specific pressure or temperature requirements for your pneumatic system.

Always ensure compatibility with your existing pneumatic system and consider factors like pressure ratings, temperature tolerances, and material compatibility when selecting pneumatic fittings for your application.
